Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing food.
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food
manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen food
container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food
and its container. The food could be contaminated.
Do not allow aluminum foil or meat probe to contact
heating element.
Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.
Utensil Safety
Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using oven
cooking bags.
This appliance has been tested for safe performance
using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices
or accessories that are not specifically recommended in
this guide. Do not use add-on oven convection systems.
The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly
recommended in this guide can create serious safety
hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the
life of the components of the appliance.
If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element
will be exposed to direct contact and could ignite
clothing or potholder.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop or oven service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Follow utensil
manufacturer’s instructions when using glass.
Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop, not out into
the room or over another surface element. This reduces
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or
spillage if pan is accidently bumped or reached by small
children.
Cooktop
NEVER leave surface units unattended, especially when
using high heat. An unattended boilover could cause
smoking and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.
This appliance is equipped with different size surface
elements. Select pans with flat bottoms large enough to
cover element. Fitting pan size to element will improve
cooking efficiency.
GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE: NEVER cook on broken
cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create
a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
Deep Fat Fryers
Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or
disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before
attempting to move pan.
Ventilating Hoods
Clean range hood and filters frequently to prevent
grease or other flammable materials from accumulating
on hood or filter and to avoid grease fires.
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Cleaning Safety
Clean cooktop with caution. Turn off all controls and
wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or
cleaning. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
Clean only parts listed in this guide.
Self-Clean Oven
CAUTION
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the oven racks,
broiler pan, food and any other utensils. Wipe
spillovers to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups.
Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage, or move the gasket.
Do not use oven cleaners or oven liners of any kind in
or around any part of the self-clean oven.
